Private Politics

3.5 stars. Another above average contemporary by Emma Barry. I love her intelligent heroines and plots that involve so much more than “will I ever find Mr. Right.” But so far the second half of her books don't quite live up for the first. Loved watching Alyse find her inner strength and realize that Liam, the charming beta hero who was desperately in love with her, was just what she needed, but the resolution of the intrigue plot was anti-climactic and the roadblock in the love story seemed artificially inserted to keep the couple apart until the page count had been reached. Still, I'm a big fan and look forward to more Washington D.C. love and politics from this author.
